Winchester Model 70 Classic Sporter in .300 Weatherby Magnum **Controlled Round Feed - Scarce in the Caliber - USA Made**

Description:
Here we have a scarce Winchester Model 70 "Classic Sporter" bolt action rifle in .300 Weatherby Magnum caliber. The Model 70 is an iconic bolt action rifle and it has gone through several iterations over it's lifespan. The rifle was originally produced by Winchester in New Haven, CT and production moved for a short time to an FN plant in South Carolina before the Model 70 production moved to Portugal. The “Classic”, this action was a return to the things that made the Model 70 famous. Featuring a full-length claw extractor, receiver mounted ejector, coned breech and controlled round feeding (CRF), the Classic had the look, feel, and function of its revered forefather. It wasn’t an exact copy, however, and actually offered several improvements over the Pre-’64 action. The ultra-reliable trigger and often copied 3-position safety that helped make the Pre-’64 Model 70 famous remained on the Classic Model 70. This particular example is chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum caliber of which very few were made. This rifle has obvious signs of use and handling marks. The 26" barrel has some marks, muzzle wear and a good bore with strong rifling. The stock has some handling marks, Monte Carlo cheekpiece, sharp checkering and red rubber pad. The controlled round action is buttery smooth and sure. There are a couple of scuffs on the hinged floorplate. 2 piece Weaver style bases are installed on the receiver just waiting for rings and a scope. This fine Winchester is in good overall condition and would make a great addition to a collection or a very classy shooter.
